A recent interview with Michael Mann and Jamie Foxx gives little away regarding the new movie Miami Vice, but it does allay a few fears I had about it.

The story comes from Calendarlive.com through IGN come the interesting quotes:

"We wanted to do Miami Vice as if it never existed before, do it for real," Mann advised Calendarlive.

"The way Michael Mann wanted to do it, he made it heavier, darker," Foxx told the paper. "You don't really pay attention to the clothes. Actually, a lot of the movie was shot at night."

Hopefully what we'll find is that there's nothing that really bears much resemblance to the TV series and we end up with a hard, gritty film. I'm still holding out loads of hope for Mann's work despite a lot of negative press. Of course I could be wrong and the cheese overrides it, but sit back and think of the Collateral film, and I think you have a lot of what Vice will look and feel like.
